Your heater needs to function at optimal performance so your entire family can stay warm and comfortable during the colder seasons. Regular heating maintenance with the help of BullsEye Plumbing, Heating & Air can make sure that it does just that. However, if your heating unit won’t turn on, there are certain parts that you can check.

Check the Circuit Breakers

The first thing you can do is look for the circuit breakers. Even heaters that use gas have some parts that run on electricity. When you check the circuit breaker, make sure all the switches are selected to the “On” position on your HVAC system.

Check Your Air Filters

If the air filters of your heating system are dusty and dirty, it can affect the functioning of the unit. You may not get any airflow at all. Check them and clean or replace the filters if they’re dirty. At the same time, you should check all the vents in your home to be sure that they’re open and free of any obstructions.

Check the Thermostat

Another step you should take is to look at your thermostat. It should be set to “Heat” or “Auto” in order to run. If it’s already set to one of those settings, you can raise the temperature to see if that fixes the issue. If the heat doesn’t kick in at all, you will probably need heating repair.

Check the Pilot Light

See whether the pilot light is on or not, as it could be due to dirt or there may be a malfunction. You may want a professional to fix it, but if you’re skilled enough, you can do it yourself. Turn off the power and gas so you can light the pilot light. Always follow the manual to your heater to ensure you’re doing everything correctly.

Make Sure the Gas is Flowing In

When you get heating installation, you should pay close attention when the technician explains about the heater. Sometimes, you may not be getting heat due to the unit not getting gas. Check the gas control valve to see if it’s on, as well.
